Professor David Nutt of the Centre for Crime and Justice, King's
College, London has provided an on-line transcript of his Eve

psychopharmacologist and was chair of the UK Advisory
Council on the Misuse of Drugs.
Re the 25 Scariest Science Experiments webpage, I'm perplexed by the
compilers' placing Sigmund Freud and the case of Emma Eckstein as the
first item under the subheading Historical Atrocities, above the vile
Nazi and Japanese WW2 medical experiment atrocities. Freud's and
Fliess's treatment
I was quite interested in the discussion about Seligman, as I am
starting on the chapter on Motivation these days.
I am teaching at a Lycée in Switzerland, (which would roughly be

I introduce them to Seligman's experiments and it
One of my favorite Kantor stories comes from John Malone,
UT-Knoxville. Kantor was visiting UT-K in the mid-1970's at the
behest of Bill Verplanck, a strong supporter. Kantor was going
about the department and talking to various faculty. Kantor and
Malone were in Malone's office and the

Nancy and all,
I use Aron, Aron, and Coups from Prentice Hall. This book is not for everyone.
Their approach to the formula is definitional rather than computational. It
took me a couple of semesters to get used to it but I like it because it
teaches students what the calculations do rather
Hi
There is an intermediate approach in which students implement formulas
using more powerful programs than hand calculators. Minitab is great
for this (I haven't used it for years) because you could implement
formula to compute values that could then be entered into later

Before Seligman thre was Brady who used a yoked-control experimenral method

I was confused and encoded things incorrectly to begin with. Also, I had no

This is my cell phone policy (new this semester). From my syllabus: Cell phones
are not permitted outside your backpack/pocket/purse while in the classroom. If
I see your cell phone out for any reason (whether to turn it off, check your

Thanks.

Threre is an article by Daniel Smith in the autumn 2009 issue of the
American Scholar that people may find of interest. It is about Aaron
Beck and how he and his approach to psychotherapy can serve as a
model to other psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. See:

We're having donuts this coming Monday :) One of my athletes got a call from

We have a new public address system throughout campus in case of an alert. We

over the cell phones. During exams
